The thin air tickled my face as it swayed my hair blocking my view and interrupting my speech as locks of my hair found their way into my mouth but even as I dismissively fix them another gush of wind blows by and sends a chill through my spine, I turn my body in the opposite direction if this was me against the wind, bring it on.
"Why'd you turn around?" he asked annoyed.
"Ssshh, the wind it's trying to get me I won't let it. You come this side." He sighs as he gets and plops himself right next to me "You're weird. I don't even know why I am here in this cold, in the park when there is no one because only someone crazy and stupid would come out to sit in a park in this weather, even the guard was startled." He says this not looking at me, rubbing his hands and shriveling his body for heat.
I laugh as I scoot closer to him, "You are my crazy and stupid! Besides later in time would you remember if you were home all warm and comfortable, these are memories we are here to make" I catch his firm gaze set on me and everything cold was replaced by the warmth his one look gave.

The cold wind catches me unguarded as it strikes me from behind swooshing the fallen leaves on the empty paths of the park. The only place you wouldn't realize the withering of time is amidst nature the sky never gets old the wind is always new and no matter how old the trees get they look like they've been the same ever since, and so it was hard to tell that it had well been 10 years since I last sat here with him then.
I pull my coat tighter around me as I look intently as two kids run around him, one of the boys crashes on his back and the other wraps around his legs as he stumbles and a wide grin spreads from one ear to another on my cold face.
I don't know how much time passes before he catches me devouring the heart-warming sight, he looks towards me and raises an eyebrow before breaking into a smile and walking towards me, the boys too busy playing don't notice their father leaving. I quickly straightened up and my smile fades as I realize I got caught red handed.
"Hey Stranger" he says sitting next to me. I quickly look ahead towards the boys not looking directly at him but I can feel his gaze on me and his body instantly radiating warmth on my side. "What are you doing here? Only someone stupid and crazy would be out in weather like this" he states in a matter of fact tone, his eyes still boring holes on my side.
"He called me stupid, that's a bad word" the younger boy yelled as he ran towards us. "You also called me crazy that is also a bad word" the elder one said trailing behind his brother. We both broke into laughter and stand up to receive our young fighters.
I hear a loud bang.
I clasp my hands on my ears instinctively and turn around to see my husband shriek and slump to the ground.
In just a split of a second, my entire world crumbles down.
I see blood oozing from his chest, my hands are soaked in red as I try to stop the flow.
No, no, no, please no.
I don't understand what is happening my finger brushes against the metal of the bullet still warm from its action. I quickly look around for its source and vaguely spot a car with men speed away. My hands now grab his arms and tears fall from my cheeks as I manage to tell him to be strong and that everything would be fine.
He had to stay with me, he just had to.

A/N:
Heylo!
Nice to see you here, besides writing I genuinely love food, so here you can have this virtual chocolate cake or cheese fries or anything you love.
I know you probably read till here and thought, "He dies, so this will be a pretty sad story, what will even happen next? She just wrote the ending here."
Hold, on.
And just read on, because the first few chapters may be a little depressing and emotional, but I really cannot keep up with grey stuff myself, but it is a substantial part of life, which we have to accept and learn to live with, and that is exactly what this story is about.
Hoping to see you somewhere ahead! Have a great day/night!
Cheers :)
